Mola Art: Elementary
Barsamian, Araxey
School Arts: The Art Education Magazine for Teachers, v103 n6 p7 Feb 2004
In this brief article, the author describes a lesson plan on Mola art she used in her elementary classroom. Using four examples of Kuna Indian molas, the teacher introduced students to the beautiful, colorful, creative art form of molas. The Kuna women have been making these layered pieces of cloth for more than one hundred years. They use a reverse-applique approach to create the colorful layers. The Kuna Indians decorate their blouses with these intricate, hand-stitched cotton panels.
